Addic7ed service for xbmc subtitles addon (UPDATE 1)

Hello,

i was really surprised to see that the owner of addic7ed.com requested the removal of addic7ed service in the xbmc subtitles addon.So i dig up the source code of xbmc before this change happend and with a little bit of editing i got it working.I need it only for tv shows, so this code may not work for movies i don't really know, here are the steps to get it working:

!!!! you need to have XBMC Subtitles addon downloaded and enabled !!!!

1.download this

2.extract the rar in:
windows:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\script.xbmc.subtitles\resources\lib\services
linux:
$HOME/.xbmc/addons/script.xbmc.subtitles/resources/lib/services
mac:
HD/Users/your_username_here/Library/Application support/XBMC/addons/script.xbmc.subtitles/resources/lib/services

3.edit settings.xml in the resources directory

windows:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\script.xbmc.subtitles\resources\settings.xml
linux:
$HOME/.xbmc/addons/script.xbmc.subtitles/resources/settings.xml
mac:
HD/Users/your_username_here/Library/Application support/XBMC/addons/script.xbmc.subtitles/resources/settings.xml

insert this
<setting id="Addic7ed" type="bool" label="Addic7ed.com" default="false"/> 
after this
<setting id="AsiaTeam" type="bool" label="Asia-Team.net" default="false"/>

4.start xbmc and go to
System->Settings->Add-ons->Enabled Add-ons->Subtitles->XBMC Subtitles->Configure->Services
and enable addic7ted service

that's it you are go to go :)

I hope you like it

    4. Is this version of service.py still working for you? Because i tried all my tv shows and had no luck to find subtitles at all.
      The proccess goes as follows: connecting, searching and then just switch forward to the next subtitles service.

      Seems like service.py script gone outdated or smth..

      steps:
      1) run xbmc

      3) open subtitles search dialog. addic7ed was set as default service
      4) wait for addic7ed search to fail and download another subtitles from betaseries provider
      5) exit xbmc

  14. thanks. so you obviously made some changes to the original addic7ted service.py file which I luckily found on github. https://github.com/amet/script.xbmc.subtitles/blob/fea43dacc75c1673e935251fac9d467a3b822f1c/script.xbmc.subtitles/resources/lib/services/Addic7ed/service.py

    I will report back if your new version works for me ;-)

  15. Thanks for the guide: it works great but I only get English results. Is it possible to get other languages (such as French) working?

    ReplyDelete

    1. you need to configured xbmc subtitles addon to search for french subtitles :)

      Delete
    2. I did, it's working with other services but not for addic7ed :/

      Delete
    3. hmm, strange i will check it out later this week

      Delete
    4. hey i tested with arrow season 2 episode 1 and its slowing french subtitles, did you select french language for search in xbmc subtitles addon

      Delete
    5. I don't have the issue anymore without modifying anything. Weird but probably only a configuration issue on my side. Thanks

    6. Hello, i have the same issue with Parks and Recreation S02 e04 or else. It only shows me subtitles in english.
      My parameters are :
      Lang1 : french
      Lang2 : English
      Lang3 : English

      Do you have an idea about this issue ?

  16. Hi Lachezar Kuzmanov,

    Me and a friend just tried to get Addic7ed to work, but somehow he can't find any subtitles on Addic7ed. Did something change?

    Thanks in advance.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Indeed I am having trouble with this as well. Followed instructions exactly. Shows up in XBMC just fine. I see it do a 'Connecting...' at the bottom, then it stops and moves to a different provider. :(

    I would really love to have this working again, and/or maybe you could also post about how you are doing it so you can get help developing it?

    ReplyDelete
  18. It looks like all is working well. Thanks for sharing this.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Not working for me... I get the subtitle not found and then going to other provider... I tested with SoA latest season... subtitles in english.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  20. Is it possible to update this for Gotham ?

    ReplyDelete
  21. great work, is it possible to add other sources (sites to)?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thanks, it works perfectly on RaspBMC (On a Raspberry Pi).
    One strange thing though... i've set my preferred language to French and English and all providers give me results in both language when Addic7ed only gives English subtitles.

    Does anyone ever experienced this ?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Would be great if there's an update for Gotham.
    Just tried to edit the script, but it didn't work. It shows up in XBMC, but doesn't work.

    Here is my edited version: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18821358/service.subtitles.addic7ed.zip.
    I put this one in “C:\Users\Gebruikersnaam\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\”
    “addon.xml” and “settings.xml” under the folder resources were adjusted.

    I don't have any knowledge about Python, so if someone can get it to work?

    ReplyDelete
  24. ...and the log, maybe it can help :) http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=ex6sdQbu (from line 1060)

    ReplyDelete
  25. @Saïdou Niang: maybe you should start with a working service.py file from another subtitle provider and try to incorporate Addic7ed specific url and commands

    ReplyDelete
  26. Does anyone know how to modify Gotham to take a new subtitle repository? Seems they're no longer relying on the xml file as all kinds of respositories are no longer available.
